According to reports in Italy, Inter Milan have entered negotiations to sign Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong.

De Jong, signed for City in 2009, made just 11 Premier league starts last season causing doubts over his future at Manchester City. De Jong has expressed a desire to stay at City but Corriere dello Sport claim they have entered talks over the midfielder who is valued between £6.4m and £8m.

Inter Milan are hoping that international team-mate Wesley Sneijder can persuade De Jong to move to the San Siro. Inter are keen on a swift return to Champions league football as they disappointingly finished 6th last season.
